Setting yet another benchmark in quality healthcare delivery and excellence in patient care, the hospital has received the prestigious NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare providers) accreditation with effect from August 03, 2012. Receiving NABH accreditation is a strong validation that we, at Sreedhareeyam, have taken extra steps to meet the highest level of safety and quality care to our patients. Quality Council of India (QCI) and its National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare providers (NABH) have designed an exhaustive healthcare standard for hospitals and healthcare providers, which are divided between patient-centric standards and organization-centric standards and consist of stringent 590 objective elements for the hospital to achieve. NABH is an Institutional Member as well as a Board member of the International Society for Quality in Health Care (lSQua), member of the Accreditation Council of International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua) and is on board of Asian Society for Quality in Healthcare (ASQua). The NABH accreditation means stringent quality control and standardization of patient services that eventually improve patient care. In a nutshell, NABH aims at streamlining the entire operations of a hospital. The benefits of accreditation are many fold :-

Patients are the biggest beneficiary among all the stakeholders

Patient’s satisfaction is regularly evaluated

It also helps hospitals to stimulate continuous improvement and enables them demonstrating commitment to quality care

To comply with the NABH accreditation standards, the hospital has established a process-driven approach in all aspects of hospital activities like registration, admission, patient care & safety, discharge, etc. Not only the clinical aspects but the governance aspects are process driven based on clear and transparent policies and protocols.
